Consult your doctor before taking Ciprofloxacin while breastfeeding. Small amounts of Cipro may transfer into breast milk, but the risk to your baby is generally considered low for short-term use at standard dosages. However, individual factors influence this risk.
Consider your baby’s age and health. Newborns and premature infants are more vulnerable, warranting a more cautious approach. Your doctor can assess the potential benefits of Ciprofloxacin treatment against potential risks to your nursing infant. They’ll consider alternative treatments if necessary.
Monitor your baby closely for any adverse reactions, including diarrhea, vomiting, or unusual fussiness. Report any concerns immediately to your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance and help determine the best course of action.
